Zuckerman Plays Mozart

VSO Dinner & Performance

MONDAY, MARCH 26

A prodigious musical partnership that is not to be missed! In one of the last opportunities to see him at the helm of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, conductor Bramwell Tovey teams up with world-renowned violinist and violist Pinchas Zuckerman to perform Mozart’s most famous violin concerto, No.5 in A Major, and Strauss’ Don Quixote. Explore the adventure and chivalry expressed in these musical pieces, performed and conducted by two artists of unparalleled talent.

Legendary violinist, violist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman performs Mozart’s most famous violin concerto, as well as partnering with his wife, accomplished cellist Amanda Forsyth, in a performance of Richard Strauss’s great work for viola, cello and orchestra, Don Quixote. This piece is based on the novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel Cervantes, and tells the famous story of the windmill-tilter and his faithful sidekick, Sancho Panza, in a series of beautiful and expressive musical episodes.
